724 MANUAL OF MODERN FARRIERY 



66. Disqualifications of Horses. If a horse run at any unrecognised meeting^ 

 he is disqualified for all races to which these Rules apply. 



67. No horse is qualified to be entered or run which is wholly or partly the 

 property of, or in any way under the care or superintendence of, a disqualified 

 person, or to run in any race so long as any disqualified person has any interest in 

 the horse's winnings in that race. 



68. Any horse which has been the subject of fraudulent practice may, at the 

 discretion of the Stewards of the Jockey Club, be disqualified for such time and for 

 such races as they shall determine. 



69. Foreign Horses. A horse foaled out of the United Kingdom shall not be 

 qualified to start for any race until there have been deposited at the Registry 

 Office, and a fee of 5s paid on each certificate (i) such a foreign certificate, and (2) 

 such a certificate of age as are next mentioned, that is to say : 



The foreign certificate must state the age, sex, pedigree, and colour of the 

 horse, and any mark by which it may be distinguished, and must be signed by the 

 secretary or other officer of some approved racing club of the country in which the 

 horse was foaled, or by some magistrate, mayor, or public officer of that 

 country. 



The Stewards of the Jockey Club may from time to time approve any racing 

 club for the purposes of this Rule, and prescribe the magistrate, mayor, or public 

 officer, by whom a foreign certificate must be signed. They may also require any 

 further proof or confirmation in any particular case, and may declare any horse 

 disqualified in default thereof. 



The certificate of age must be signed by a veterinary surgeon in the United 

 Kingdom, approved for this purpose by the Stewards of the Jockey Club, either 

 by general order or in the particular case. 



70. A horse which has been out of the United Kingdom (otherwise than as a 

 foal at the foot of his dam) before having run in Great Britain, shall not be quali- 

 fied to start for any race until a certificate of age, signed as in the last Rule men- 

 tioned, has been deposited at the Registry Office. 



NOTE. The Stewards of the Jockey Club have approved generally of certifi- 

 cates given by the Members of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and by 

 persons holding the Highland and Agricultural Society's diploma. 



Entries, Subscriptions, Declarations of Forfeit, and Acceptances for 



Races. 



71. Every entry shall close, and every declaration of forfeit or of acceptance 

 shall be fixed to be made at 10 P.M., and upon Tuesdays only, except in the case 

 of races closing within four days of their being run. 



All entries for handicaps for which the weights are to appear before the week 

 in which a Meeting is held, must be in the Sheet Calendar at least one week before 

 the weights are published, and for those handicaps for which the weights are to 

 appear during the week of the Meeting, the entries shall close at least twenty-four 

 hours before the publication of the weights. 



No declaration of forfeit shall be fixed to be made for races for two-years-old 

 only, between the second Tuesday in October, when they are yearlings, and the 

 last Tuesday in March in the following year. 



72. A horse is not qualified to run for any race unless he is duly entered for 

 the same. 



73. All entries made elsewhere than at the Registry Office (except entries 

 made during the week of, or on the Saturday preceding, the Meeting) shall be 

 lodged at that office within forty-eight hours, or, if intended for publication in the 

 next Calendar, within twelve hours after the day of closing. 



In default of observance of this rule, the receiver of nominations shall be re- 

 ported to the Stewards of the Jockey Club, and unless the nominator can prove to 

 their satisfaction that the entry was made in due time, it shall be void. 



74. The list of entries shall be closed at the advertised time, and no entry shall 

 be admitted on any ground after that time. 



75. An entry or subscription may, before the time of closing, be altered or 

 withdrawn.
